After Argus said that, they heard a voice that seemed to come from the sky.
[Congratulations for the breakthrough of the individual ‘Argus’, a new realm of the highest evolution of man is now created under the name: 「 Celestial Human 」 ]
After conveying that, the voice vanished just as if it had been swallowed by the Earth. This is the first time in natural Argus to make him wonder.
“It was the Voice of the World.”
…
After Argus cleared her magic circles, Chloe invited her to rest on the black tree.
“Sit here.”
He patted the spot next to him, taking it as an order, and Argus sat politely.
“So can you tell me about Noire?”
“Of course, but can before that I ask one more thing?”
“?”
Chloe simply nodded without saying a word.
“Anda only. If only this tragedy had happened again, what would you do as a precaution?”
“…”
Chloe could not answer him for a while, but after that she stared at the sky covered in leafy leaves.
“I just need to make him have a lot of valuable people in his life. Because of this guy.. It is hard to love something new in her life, but once she loves it, the thing she loves will slowly disappear leaving her.”.
Argus looked at Chloe with a strange look mixed in admiration.
“In other words, would you be willing if he had another wife by his side?”
Chloe blushed when she heard it.
“I-other wife? I'm not his wife yet!”
Although a little surprised, Argus did not dare to reveal it.
“Yeah, isn't that nice? If this tragedy happens again someday, she won't be lonely, and I won't be fighting alone, will I?”
“…”
Chloe's answer always stunned her.
“It looks like the moral of the World now has been much different yes compared to the modern World.”
“Huh?”
Argus said that so quietly, that Chloe couldn't hear it clearly.
“Now, what do you know about ‘Noire’?”
He asked using only a little pressure, but for Argus he was like being overpowered by the Titanic which weighed 52,310 tons.
“Sa-I will explain everything, therefore do not intimidate me.”
“Oh, sorry, my intimate aura seems to be leaking, and I am indeed a little sensitive about this ‘Noire’, because he is ‘Buruan’ from her, he said, it is appropriate that I look for information about this ‘Noire’ for the sake of our hunting progress.”
Argus just nodded with a stiff facial expression, and then he started his role.
“Noire, that person is from one clan(group) with me, the Ancient race, more precisely the Ancient Demon. He does not have a fixed form, because he has Skill『 Perfect Doppelganger 』 which makes him able to imitate the form perfectly up to 90% of the user's original ability. He very often used this Skill to change his identity, and that was why his true form was not even known to us who were one faction with him.
Noire also told me that he had reached the pinnacle of life, so to speak, that he was immortal. Then he had so many servants and his subordinate demons as spies all over the World, to take down a huge kingdom from behind the scenes was very easy for Noire if he wanted to do it.”.
“Skill copycat huh? And also where can I make sure that you're not a spy?”
The light question felt very heavy for Argus, because the pressure was back on him.
“I can tell the location of his kingdom! A spy keeps a meeting informed about his client or Master isn't it?!”
“.. Right too.”
The aura shrank, then he told Argus to continue.
“If it's not wrong the angel said it.. Yeah, correct. Chances are he's in Qwentery, the smallest and most mysterious shard of Rodinia.”
“Angel? And the possibility you said?”
“Yes, angel, he was the third party to stop the biggest war of the time. And he named himself the fragments of the continent from the great land which was originally named Rodinia. He also assigned the Ancient races to be the protectors of the balance of the World, which is why they were placed in the Qwentery, the smallest and most mysterious fragment and in the middle of being the center of the World.”
“Hmm~ so? Then why are you in Stolas?”
“Aah.. It was because I was swept away by the waves when the angel split and broke Rodinia, then with the life energy and magic left I hid in a cave and sealed myself in about 3000 years I guess? That's the approximate time it takes to be able to recover my wounds, energy, and strength back.”
“3000 years huh? It is inconceivable what kind of injury you suffered that took so long to recover completely.”
“Mmgh.”
Their conversation came to a halt when they heard the sound of people having nightmares in their sleep.
“Ooh~, soon he will wake up.”
Chloe again stroked her head that was lying on her thighs.
***
Because he still felt dizzy from the bright light earlier made Dyze slowly open her eyes.
“Pohon.?”
“Baa! You are awake! I miss you so much, Lo!”
“Urgh.. Who?”
“This is me lo! Chloe's! Long time no see?”
Without saying a word she immediately hugged Chloe tightly while whispering in her ear: 'C:
“What really happened? You're the real Chloe, aren't you?”
Chloe smiled as she stroked her hair like a mother to her child, she spoke softly near Dyze's ears, and because it was so close, she could smell the fragrance from Chloe's body.
“Yes, I'm the real one.. I'll tell you everything without exception.”
Dyze, who had been in his arms, now took a sitting position next to him. When she saw the sky with him, Chloe leaned her head on Dyze's shoulders like a couple.
“Laying on your shoulders is a sensation I've always wanted to feel for thousands of years.”
“Hah? Thousand years? What are you talking about?”
“That's the truth, you know for yourself don't you? If I am the Goddess of Time have the authority or power to manipulate time as I please?”
“Yes, of course. Why?”
Dyze's easygoing answer was very different from the look on Argus' face that looked confused, and as if he could not believe his words, but she just locked her mouth tightly because in her little heart she thought it was impossible.
“Do you think I can go back in time using my powers?”
Dyze pensively for a few seconds, she replied while holding her chin, “True too.. I didn't know about it. Shoulda could.. Guess?”
“Yes, I can do it. And now I go back to the past of a different universe (parallel) and live life as Chronoa that has been repeated for thousands of times.”
“Different universe? What the hell did you do it for? And life as Chronoa.?”
Dyze looked at Chloe, the wind blew her hair, the sunlight made her more graceful, the sound of her words echoed to her ears, for the first time, Dyze was stunned to see the beauty of a Woman.
“Of course to save you.-“ She smiled broadly to show her teeth when she said that, Chloe then looked up at the sky and explained it in more detail.
“How to explain it yes? First, you need to know if the life you experience is not only on one timeline, there are many branches of your life timeline in other universes with different fates.
Second, you must not meet each other because it will trigger a paradox that will make one of you will disappear.
Third, the reason you guys can't meet is because our respective Worlds are separated by different space and time.”
“Yes.. Then?”
“With Skill 『 Space Time Control 』and my natural power that is manipulating space and time, I can rip space and ‘explore’ desired timeline.”
“That means, that woman.. The woman in my dream?!”
“True, it was me. From another timeline more precisely.”
“From another timeline? Are you the same?”
“Maybe? We are even like sisters, on the eve of death, we can access each other's memories, or send them to different timelines in the past.”
Dyze just nodded, it seemed like he had started to gain enlightenment.
“Then what happened to the ‘Chloe’ of these different timelines? And does it have anything to do with your goal of saving me?”
Chloe seemed to flinch when she heard her question, her voice was like one who was trying hard to speak.
“They've all died.”
The world instantly stopped as Dyze heard the words, though he himself still felt a gust of cold wind piercing through his bones.
“What...You said?”
“They suffered different fates, but they died in the same pattern, namely suicide for failing to complete the mission.”
With a trembling voice, Dyze looked towards him.
“Don't say..”
“Yes, the mission was to save you. Some of them even resorted to ‘resting’ Dyze from their World who had lost full consciousness while fighting Argus.”
From the words of Chloe who mentions she has repeated life as Chronoa makes Dyze think if ‘They’ in question is Chloe herself, she actually experienced thousands of deaths to save herself.
“…”
In her little heart, Dyze wanted to treat her even better, to return the favor for her struggle.
“Although I still do not really understand why you and Chronoa are the same person, but you will discuss it later. For now, who is he?”
Dyze pointed at Argus with a face like a child who wanted a toy.
“Oh him? Your first subordinate lo.”
“Bawahan?”
“In other words, a waiter.”
“Oh!” Dyze said that by landing a fist in his palm, until it made a sound ‘Pong’.
Chloe is seen pinching Argus' stomach clandestinely, and giving a signal that Argus himself understands immediately.
“Hamba, Argus, the first Celestial Human is ready to be your loyal servant. Slave swears will be a living shield or spear if needed.”
“... Well having a waiter in a World like this is not bad either.”
Argus looks happy because his vow was accepted.
After looking at the sky, Chronoa tugged at Dyze's shirt.
“Hey, is it okay? Now it's late afternoon lo, don't we have to get there before nightfall?”
“Aah, true too. Come get ready, we'll celebrate our reunion there~!”
“Ayoooo!~”
“Iyaa.”
